Pokemon 20 Day!

Episode 20: The terrifying twentieth episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast, just in time for Pokemon 20 day! We review the Legend of Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses concert. Miz Sylver regales us with tales of Nintendo New York. There's all kinds of new exclusive merchandise there! They were also selling the Fire Emblem Fates special edition with all three parts of the game on one cartridge, Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation. Miz Sylver also reveals that she attended the 1990 Nintendo World Championships in Atlanta!!?!? Miz Sylver is in the Smite for PS4 alpha, and is loving it. You can capture Gyrados in a special event in Pokemon Shuffle. There's also a Mega Charizard X competition. What will happen when you have two mega stones for Charizard??? There's so much going on for Pokemon 20. Nintendo Badge Arcade is celebrating it with new badges. There was that Red vs. Blue Splatfest last week, with Blue winning... Miz Sylver the red Nidoqueen is sad. There's a big celebration at Nintendo New York, which was opened just in time for this, and a pop up event at JapanLA in Los Angeles. Toys'r'us is giving out free Pikachu and Magikarp foil cards and has more stuff for sale, and GameStop has mythical Pokemon posters free with purchase and an exclusive Mew plush. The New Nintendo 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition is available today, everywhere. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow are being released in the Nintendo eShop today. New in this release is the ability to trade your Pokemon to other game generations through the Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter. The Pokémon Photo Booth is a cute (iOS only for now, android soon) app that lets you add Pokemon details to your snaps. Pokkén Tournament is having a pre-release tournament in honor of the day, the game doesn't even come out until March 18th! (If you can't play today, you can play at Church on the Hill in Boston on March 18th.) The Pokemon Direct announced the long rumored Pokemon Sun and Moon!!!

Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, we want to hear from you. Will you be playing Sun, or Moon? Should Miz Sylver play Red, Blue, or Yellow? And how are you living your best #pokelife on Pokemon 20 Day? Tweet, email, or comment on the blog or Facebook to let us know.
